Congrats to Mrs. Savannah Griffin for being named the 2025–2026 CTE Teacher of the Year! Well deserved! 🎉
Our culinary students had an amazing hands-on experience today at our local Hardee’s! They rolled up their sleeves and got to work — making biscuits from scratch, frying up golden chicken, and whipping up delicious omelets alongside the Hardee’s team.
This visit gave our students a taste of what it’s like to work in a fast-paced professional kitchen, while building their confidence and culinary skills.
A huge thank you to Hardee’s for opening their kitchen and giving our students this incredible opportunity!

Mrs. Griffin’s second-year Health Science students put their first aid knowledge to the test during a mock disaster day! Mrs. Myatt’s students participated as patients, giving the second-year students the opportunity to triage and treat injuries in a realistic, hands-on scenario. Great teamwork and learning in action!
Mrs. Moss’s Business, Marketing & Finance II students explored Human Resources Management in action through a creative pumpkin-themed activity! Students used pumpkins to demonstrate HR concepts like teamwork, leadership, and employee motivation, applying real-world skills in a fun and engaging way.
Mrs. Moss’s Business, Marketing & Finance I students took on a fun fall twist with their Pumpkin Marketing Challenge! Students applied key business concepts like branding, advertising, budgeting, teamwork, and public speaking while developing creative strategies to market their pumpkins to a target audience.
Mrs. Griffin and Mrs. Myatt’s Health Science students visited the Chickasaw County Courthouse, where Karsunn Moore took time to speak with them during their Legal and Ethical unit. Students learned about the importance of understanding and following laws in the healthcare field.
